It took 12 innings but thanks to a Will Venable blast the Padres win the season opener against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Padres had a difficult time picking up pitcher Adam Wainwright how actually pitched 11 innings. Motte came in for Wainwright and the second batter he faced was Venable who sent the 3-2 pitch over the center field wall. Padres Starter Mat Latos pitched to two batters and was injured for at least a month. That is a huge blow to a staff who lost Clayton Richard during spring training.

This game was destined for extra innings until Chris Denorfia came through with an rbi triple in the top half of the ninth inning. Heath Bell came in and recorded his second save in two games this season. Tim Stauffer got the start for the Padres and threw seven scoreless innings. Once the team learns to hit they may be something to contend with.

This game was alot different then the others. The Padres scored early and often on Jamie Garcia and picked up their third win in a row to start the season. Chris Denofia homered for the first time this season which led to the 6-1 final score. Ernesto Frieri was terrific until he got injured in the bottom of the 6th inning. This isn't the first injury this team has had to endure. The extent of the injury at this point is unknown.
